Abstract

See full text

A crib having a drop side that vertically slides between lowered and raised positions includes a guiding and locking mechanism for the drop side, comprising a pair of lower guides and a pair of upper guides affixed to the crib's corner posts, and a plurality of slides affixed to the drop side and slidably engaging the guides. Each guide comprises a plate-shaped guide member and each slide defines a channel in which the guide member is slidably received. One edge of each lower guide member has a recess formed therein, and a resilient locking member integrally formed with the guide is positioned opposite the recess and urges the slide into the recess to lock the drop side in the raised position. Each lower guide also includes a second, lower recess into which the slides are urged by a second, lower resilient locking member for locking the drop side in a lowered position.
